Spring is right around the corner, and Cantigny Park in Wheaton is ready to celebrate the season with both adults-only and family-friendly events in March and April.
From live music and themed dinners to the annual Easter Egg Hunt, here are the activities to check out.
Friday, March 13: Felix & Fingers are coming back to Cantigny for one more night of dueling pianos. Don’t miss this chance to send winter off in style.

Friday, March 27: Murder Mystery Dinner: Death of a Gangster invites guests to the Dunn Speakeasy for the wedding of the year! In this “married to the mob” event, someone is bound to lose power, which means someone else will lose their life.
